I would like to take this opportunity and thank you for a successful tournament this year. Your patience and understanding throughout our weather challenged tournament is much appreciated. Some of you played pretty late into the evening on Saturday night, so thank you for your diligence in getting those games in.
We had a total of 90 teams in 12 divisions playing on 26 different fields. We played 164 games over 4 days (Thursday was washed out) and we used approximately 400 baseballs. With all that being said, we were able to complete every game despite the weather challenges we encountered. I know one of the major challenges we encountered was that some of the games on Sunday were moved up an hour and a half, but that ended up saving our tournament. The Jackson area was hit by a downpour around 6pm and we would have been washed out, if we kept our original schedule.
I have attached the results for every division, so please take a look to see how your favorite teams did. We are really striving to make this tournament an elite tournament in Northeastern Ohio. In order for us to keep our present standard and to make our tournament even better, we would like to know how your experience was and act on certain areas that need improvement. I have attached a comment card for you to review and fill out. Please feel free to forward this to all our players and their families. We understand that our experience may be totally different than our spectators, so please encourage them to send in their comments. You can e-mail or US Mail the comments back to me.
Again, thank you so much for being a part of our tournament and we hope to have you back next year. We wish all your teams good luck and success as you wind up 2008.
Respectfully,
Richard Jackson
